When I previously spoke of love preventing a person from actively and consciously harming the one they loved, I was very much incorrect. Ever heard the terms Tsundere or Yandere? They are what I'm talking about.
A tsundere usually heaps abuse on the one they love, emotional or physical, as a way to show their love for them, as they do not know of an other way, or in spite of loving the person, for one reason or another. They act this way only to the target of their affection. And when I say act, I mean act, for there is no actual hate or anything like that behind said acts of a tsundere, and if there are, the person in question is not a true tsundere.
A yandere on the other hand, may hurt the one they love because they love them. It could be physical, as in hurting them to prevent them from getting even more hurt. It could be also emotional or mental, as some call it, for example, killing a good friend of theirs out of (extreme) jealousy. In the worst cases a yandere may even kill the one they love, as away of keeping them from a rivel for their affection, or some other such things.
As bad as they may sound, dealing with them could be actually very easy, atleast if you are the object of their feelings. The simplest way is to simply shower them with enough love, that they simply have no reason to even consider you having feelings for someone else. This is only possible if you actually have no love for them, other than platonic, or if the tsundere or yandere likes sharing. This will also result (hopefully) in the yandere deciding not to murder the hypotenuse, and the tsundere toning down the tsuntsun side of themself. As far as I know, there is no one true way to deal with them, as they all have problems. In the method mentioned above, there is no guarantee of it working, and it wont stop a yandere from causing pain and injury, even death, on the one they love, if they want to keep them safe. But remember, the yandere may have a point, although hopefully not literally.
From my description, you might think a tsundere is an angry person, constantly insulting and/or hurting the person they love, and you might consider a yandere to be a raving lunatic. They are not things every tsundere or a yandere is, nor are they all there is to the person they could apply to. For example, a yandere might be a sweet girl so in love with a boy, she would do anything for him. Anything. It could range from greeting him when she came across him, or giving him a shoulder to cry on, if needed, to breaking his legs to keep him from going outside and doing something stupid, to slaughtering an entire class of schoolgirls, to keep them from becoming objects of his affection. And she would do it all with a smile, without a second thought. A tsundere, on the other hand, could simple be prone to giving the person they love constructing critisism. It all depends on the individual.
